2: ffghh | By Maya curry bey | B is for Black Hole a black hole can be small and still be strong. Black Holes can take a lot of space A black hole is a body with gravity so strong that not even light can escape it.It was made by collapsing stars that came a one to make a black hole

3: C is for cosmology.The study of the origin structure and future of the universe. The word cosmology came from a greek word meaning universe. Cosmology is the theory about the beginning of the universe. To understand how the universe formed scientists study the movement of

4: D is for dog A dog was was the first living thing to ever go to space. The dogs job was to orbit space. Scientists knew that people from earth could go to space.

10: I is for irregular galaxies. They are called irregular because of there shape. Scientist wonder why they look so irregular. They contain random objects that's why.

12: janeisha harris | M y letter is l. l is for Low earth orbit and that is and abriviation | jan,12,2011 | for (Leo) any way leo is the way of making things .And the low earth orbit is the close to the earth.

14: jasneisha harris | grade 5 jan,12.2011 | N...N is for neptune nepyune is on of the eighth planets. | N is for neptune and neptune is the outter most planet.

24: X | is for X-ray telescope | X-ray telescopes are designed to detect and resolve X-rays from sources outside Earth’s atmosphere. Because of atmospheric absorption, X-ray telescopes must be carried to high altitudes by rockets or balloons or placed in orbit outside the atmosphere. Balloon-borne telescopes can detect the more penetrating (harder) X-rays, whereas those carried aloft by rockets or in satellites are used to detect softer radiation. | By: Aleyah Showell

25: W is for weather satellites. A weather satellite is a type of satellite that is used to monitor the weather and climate of the earth. Weather satellites monitor tornadoes, hurricanes, and hail storms in the world.The satellites can tell the amount of rain a thunderstorm or hurricane that will have, and snowfall. By Isaiah Rollins
